~ Major Sidney M. Finger died at
Newton on Dec. 26th. He had
not been in good health for some
time but his death was 4 surprise
~to his many friends in the State
whose esteem and affections he
shared to a very Jarge extent.
Maj. Finger was born in aye
coln county, May 24th, 1837.,
a boy he worked with his ae
on the farm and in the tan- yard,
~and went to such public schools
~as the neighborhood afforded. At
~the age of eighteen he entered
~Catawba college, acting as tutor
AMuring his last year there. In
1859 he entered the junior class of
Bowdoin College in Maine, grad-
uating in 1861 withA. B,, and re-
eeiving his A. M, in 1865. He en-
tered the Confederate army, and
was made Quarter Master Ser-
geant, promoted to waptain, and
assigned to thé collection of taxes
in kind in the Charlotte Congres-
sional district. In 1864 he was
promoted to Major,.and put in
charge of the collection of taxes
in kind for the whole State.
After the close of the war he
entered the profession of teach-
ing, and was associated for nine
or ten years with Rev. J. C. Clapp}.
in conducting Catawba college,
the leading educational institu-
tion of the German Reformed
church in the State. He was an
excellent teacher and manager,
and retired from the active work
because of ill-health in 1874 in
:
ay
which vear he was elected by the
~Democrats of his county .to the
House of Representatives. He
was elected to the Senate in 1876,
and re-elected in 1880. After re-
goeiee from Catawba college ke
obecame engaged in merchandis-
ing andin cotton wanafacturing.
In 1882 he was appointed a direc.
tor of the Western Hospital, and
was chairman of the Board when
that splendid institution. was
opened for the reception of pa-
tients. In 1884, he was elected
State Superintendent of Public
Instruction, and was re-elected in
1888. Since his retirement from
that office in 1893 he has devoted
himself to his private affairs;
taking deep interest as a director
in the Greensboro Norwal and
Tndustrial School, and in the jate
campaign taking an active part in
the contest in his county. ©
Maj. Finger was married early
n life. His wife survives him.
They bad no children. TheirTs
was an ideal life, and tha sympa-
thy of & large circle of fnends
goes out to the bereaved widow.

The Atlanta Constitution says:
oThere's more genuine music in a
listle tin horn blown by a rosy-
cheeked boy than there is ina
whole Opera troupe: But you
must look at it from the right

point of view must be about seven

Lenep sau ot a New York Judge.
A New York judge has decided
in the case of a woman living in
that State who went to South Da-
kota and secured a divorce from
,|her husband: and subsequently
married again, that both the di-
vorced husband aud the one ac"
quired after the divorce are legal
husbands. oBy the laws of the
State ot South Dakota,� said the
judge in his decision, oshe is the
lawful wife in that State of the
second husband. By the laws of
the State of New York she is the
lawful wife of the first.T It is
therefore, plain that while Wes-
tern divorces are not valid in the
Kast, although recognized in the
Sta~es in which they were grant-
ed, a mest curious condition of
affairs might result and, in fact,
polygamy could be legalized.
~The osailor with a wife in eyery
port� has long beer held up as a
horrible example, but if the de
cision of the New. York court
stands, the ladies may be able to
turn the tables on men and have
a husband in nearly every State
in the Union without coming
within the penalty of the law, It
is no wonder that there are many (
adyocates of a national divorce
law, and in view of the decision
ofthe New York court it will be
found that the Western divorce
mills actusily encourage po-
lygamy.

Mr. N. M. Lawrence, Superinten-
dent of the Oxtord Orphan Asylum;
gives some iuteresting information re-
garding it: There are present 211
children, of whom 110 are girls. The
cost of maintenance this year is $19,-
200, less the earnings of the asylum
which are about $3,500. The State
gives $91,000 and the Grand Lodge of
Masons $2,500. During the year
there were 140 cases of measles among
the pupils but not a death resulted. :
The.e were only two deaths during the
year. The industrial feature of educa
ticn is being well looked atter. There
is the farm, carpenter shop, broom
factory and printing office, Five new
brick buildings fave been erected this
year, for dormitories, at a total cost of
$20,000, with a complete sewerage sys-
tem. Mr. B. N. Duke, of Durham,
made the asylum a cash gift of $10,000
for buildings, and the Masons raised a
like amount.
The total cost of maintaining the
Federal, State, municipal governments
of the United States fur the year 1896
was $915, 345,055. Amorg the dis.
bursements were the following: For
charities, $146,905,671 ; for education,
$145,583,115 ; for rouds, bridges and
sewers, $72,262,000; for postal service,
$66,000,000 ; for army and militia,
$35,500,000; for police, $24,000,000 ;

clawing one another for first place.
The skilled troop hunter follows
Atheneum club and were good
friends, though Manning thought
that Benson was not rugged enough
in his policy. A correspondent of
the archbishop, who was also a
friend of the cardinal, received from
Lambeth palace in 1886 a letter in
which the Anglican primate said of
the Roman cardinal, ~~You are not
mistaken in thinking that I highly
regard his person and his life and
value the goodness of Cardinal Man-
lningTs heart toward me,� with more
lto the same purpose. The corre- |
